Big Excitement: The Shuttle Tank is reuniting with the Space Shuttle

The Shuttle Tank is reuniting with the Space Shuttle in Los Angeles

Big new in Los Angeles, or should I say the buzz has been going on for a few days. The Space Shuttle will finally get a real Tank instead of a fake one in the final resting place. This in turn will make it the one and only complete Space Shuttle available to visitors from all over the Globe.

 

 

5-18-16 Wednesday --- ET-94 Space Shuttle Fuel Tank in Marina del Rey Channel

                Timeline:
                6:00 - 8:00 AM -----   clears the Marina del Rey Breakwater and proceeds down the Channel
                8:30 - 10:30 AM ---   unloading at Fisherman's Village
                11:00 AM - 11:30 AM -- Press Conference @ Fisherman's Village

5-21-2016 Saturday---Saturday may be delayed by something almost out of this world: a giant orange space shuttle tank known as ET-94.

 

 

The route the external tank will take on the way to Expo Park.

 

 

Needless to say Diane is very excited because she walks Schmoe right about the time this  Orange Tank is going by her route, wishing here fun to see it. If she does than she will see the other part of the Space Shuttle, hard to believe virtually twice in our back yard in the past five years:

Closures expected to occur during the time window include the intersections of Culver and Lincoln boulevards, Lincoln and Loyola boulevards, and Loyola Boulevard and Westchester Parkway, an LAX statement says.

It seems like yesterday when they moved the Shuttle.... now the tank and the Shuttle will be reunited and this will be the first and only exhibit of a complete Space Shuttle.

Ironically a week ago I was telling one of my clients that I remembered when the space Shuttle Flew over Los Angeles and I was showing a house in the Hollywood Hills on Zorada Dr. and the noise was scary as the Space Shuttle flew over us...

Anyway here we are a few years later and I am still going to miss it... Just as an FYI too early for my taste:)

Had to chuckle a bit when I saw the map. No matter where you are going in Southern California you will probably be on Sepulveda somewhere along the route. lol

Endre,

We were in LA yesterday, and it would have been fun to see this from the air...I can imagine the tie up that is going to cause.  You would not believe what two blocks of Sunset did when we had an appt at the Palisades...luckily we left early. A

Having an original space shuttle with an original fuel tank . . .  . is a step back into time . . . . and cool too.

Good luck and success.

Endre I got to tour the facility where the space shuttles were built in Huston back in the early 90's and saw one of the space shuttle.  I would love to be in LA to see one again.
